Las Vegas Restaurant Coupons, Dining & Buffet Discounts

There are 2 good sources of dining discounts for Las Vegas. Restaurant.com has more upscale selections (also a lot of mid-price restaurants), coupons are good 1 year from purchase and you only buy the coupons you want. There are no unused coupons at the end of the year unless you forget or the restaurant goes out of business.

Tix4Tonight.com is also recommended although the selection is not as strong. If you want to eat in the Harrah's/Bally/Paris area, you will find a good variety of offerings. These are the same day ticket discounters which would be convenient for a show and dinner solution.

The 2009 American Casino Guide is also recommend if you are staying at the New York New York, Venetian, Downtown or have a car and want to drive around Las Vegas. It has a variety of coupons including food and drink, gaming and shows and some souvenir and room savings. It is not geared to the upscale though.

Restaurant.com allows you to purchase in advance, $25 coupons (Higher denomination and $10 coupons someitmes available) for $10 or less. Restaurant participation varies from 155 to over 230 in the greater Las Vegas area.

Some of our top picks are shown below but there are many more on the website with Aureole, Fleur de Lys, Mix and Strip Steak just added.  These are all celebrity chef type of restaurants and the discount makes them a little more affordable.

Most minimum purchases are $35-$50. Each coupon is usually a discount of $15 net. Using a promo code will increase the savings. The current discount code drops the price down to $4 per coupon which saves you $21 net for a $25 coupon.  A $50 Orbitz gift certificate is included.  The code is good until March 11, 2010.

To use this site, click on the Restaurant.com red banner above then type in 89109 for the area code. The certificates can print out in either black and white or color and are good for a year from purchase. You present them as you order and tip based on the non-discounted check. Some restaurants require a certain tip amount.

Here are some current recommendations. The participating restaurants that are a quick cab ride or actually on the Las Vegas Strip have an asterisk(s). rm is one of the top seafood restaurants in Vegas. Origin is the best Indian in Vegas.  All of the recent high end additions are also recommended but the savings makes a smaller dent in the overall bill.

Tix 4 Tonight

The same day ticket discounter for shows also has some dining coupons for $2 or $3 which can lead to very good sized or small savings depending on the coupon and restaurant. Availability varies somewhat but a typical offering may look like the one below. You only have up to 7 days in advance. The all you can eat and buffets are listed in a separate group first. Regular dining is the second group.

Our favorites are rm (a very good deal considering that fish entrees are $26-32 and appetizers $12-18), Enoteca (Mario Batali's casual Italian) and Treasures but only if you plan to eat and go to a Strip Club as well. Treasures is not recommended for pure dining.

Although we don't rate the Range Steakhouse as highly as others (see our steakhouse discussion), it is a pretty good bargain at half off. The Paris buffet (Le Village) has been our top choice for breakfast buffets until a recent falloff in quality. We would like to recommend it again if it recovers its past glory.

See our Cheap Tickets section for the 6 locations of Tix 4 Tonight. They do not publish the dining details on their website which is why there is no link to them. Their physical locations do have the current Las Vegas dining discount listings.
